CONSULTATIONS FOR BIO-HYDRATION
As we age, the skin gets thinner, crepier and drier. This is of particular concern to women who are peri or post-menopausal. Bio-hydration has been shown to up-regulate the production of new water channels (called aquaporin 3) in the skin. These aid the transport of water into the dermis and the results have been clinically shown to last up to 9 months from only one session.
Bio-hydration also also stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, the two main building blocks of our skin that we lose as we age. This net result of the longer-term use of bio-hydration treatments are better skin hydration, less need for moisturiser and many patients also note their skin is less sensitive because skin barrier function is improved.
Cosmetic clinics in Australia are prohibited by law to advertise:
-
the brand names of any medicines that may be used in a treatment
-
the pricing of any medicines that may be used in a treatment
-
explicit treatments, areas of concern or techniques that may be used
-
before and after images that utilise medicines in the treatment
WHAT DO BIO-HYDRATING TREATMENTS DO?
The outcome of bio-hydration is sometimes described by patients as an 'internal moisturiser'. People commonly report:
-
Better skin texture
-
Plumper skin
-
Less dry skin
-
Subtle improvement of fine lines
-
A 'dewy' quality to the skin
-
More radiant skin (skin luminescence)
Bio-hydrating is ideal for those new to aesthetics because the results will never look 'done' or obvious. They are also the perfect adjunct for more experience patients who want to take their skin quality results to the next level.
